MEMORIES

“I remember when the news came on and said the tornado had flattened the apartments by Burnett’s Mound. My father didn’t say a word.”

I was 13 at the time of the tornado. I remember when the news came on and said the tornado had flattened the apartments by Burnett’s Mound. My father didn’t say a word. He worked for KP&L, and he got up, put on his hat, left the house and we didn’t see him again for two or three weeks.
